Green before it was a Verb

Go Green! Are you green? That's sooo green of you! It's the latest greenest way to repurpose your tee shirts! Have my sister make them into reuseable grocery bags! I, (sarah grace) in the deepest shade of green possible, vow to create a blog so honestly green, it's community will reduce, reuse, and recyle their own tears of laughter. We will also soak up all the time, health, and money saving benefits of being green. I would like this to be a place where we can all share what things we do, no matter how small, to greenify our world. This will be a spot you can visit quickly, just to see what the green gals are up to, or stay a while, and join in the conversation d~jour.

The things I do everyday to promote a greener, healthier, economical lifestyle? I don't shop retail. I compost. I pee in the shower, and I reuse or repurpose anything I possibly can. Check back as we get this blog organized, and we will describe in detail how to make an apron, dress, or novelty gift item from like say...men's neckties. Instant super hero capes from a tee shirt. Coin purse from a milk carton, frame from a chair bottom, a vegetable garden hanging off your back door or porch railing, ....oh I can't wait for the amazing ideas you all have, the green tips, the mutual admiration, and the love to flow!

  1. So, here I am commenting on my own blog without destroying a single TREE, telling you how easy it is to comment. Just click the comments bar, and it takes you to the little "type your comment here" box. I reuse all the plastic things that snap on to seal like cottage cheese containers. What do you reuse?

    Thanks,

  3. This is a great blog not only to see green tips but to do a posting of your own green ideas!

    Today it is about candle warmers. Candle warmers are increasing in popularity with school teachers, colleage students and , well, with anyone that doens't want to have a flame present. If you purchase a candle with a wick and wick tab) is to safely remove the wick and tab after it has melted. Use a long handled spoon or fork to do this. Depending on the metal tab, the glass container and how hot the candle warmer gets it could cause the glass to crack. While soy wax does clean up with soap and water some dyes do not come out. Be even greener and purchase dye free candles!
